How to Render Quizzes and Pages
I have 11 quizzes and pages that cannot be rendered when I view them as a student. How can I make them visible to students? They are completely fine when I view them as a teacher. These were ported over from another host site. I have many other quizzes and pages ported over from the same host site and I am unclear why some…

Call for more diverse quiz question types and improved workflows to create them
Hi Folks, I am hoping to encourage BrightSpace Community members to support calls for improvements to the BrightSpace quiz tool; specifically more diverse question types and more intuitive workflows to create them. Because, while the recently released D2L Road Map shows planned changes to "big picture" quiz creation (i.e.…

Point Value of Quiz
How can I change the total point value of this quiz (the circled section below)? The quiz had 40 questions, but I have eliminated 20 of them. It still says it is worth 40 points. Does this really matter since I can have the points be whatever I would like in the starred "Grade Out Of" section? Thanks :)

Content Cannot be Rendered
I have gone in as a student to test the course and quizzes. I receive the message "This content item cannot be rendered" for some of the quizzes, yet they are all set to be visible to students. Do you know why this is and what I can do about it? Thanks…

Issue with Fill in the Blank Quizzes Marking Incorrectly
When I test a fill in the blank quiz using the answer key, I get answers wrong. Once I got 15/16 and once I got 14/16. The issue seems to be with "Case Insensitive" which isn't working the way I would expect. Even thought I set the quiz up to tell me incorrect answers it shows ALL my answers and doesn't tell me which ones…

Drag and Drop Quiz Alternative
I have a number of drag and drop quizzes that I have to modify since this isn't an available quiz in D2L. What type of quiz would be the best alternative? I don't like the fill in the blank quizzes because it becomes a spelling test. (I also don't think the spell check feature is convenient). Please let me know if there is…

Formatting in Quiz Response Boxes
How can I get the number 1 to be above the 3 and beside it's own answer box? I have gone into html to adjust things there, but using trial and error has resulted in a lot of failed attempts. Alternatively, is there a way to include a video and instructions in a quiz ABOVE all questions? The number 1 issue happens because…

Importing a Quiz from another Course
I have imported things successfully in the past from one course to another, but for some reason, I can't port two particular quizzes. When I port the quiz, it shows up in my “Quizzes” section, but I can't find it in the content of the course at all. Does anyone know what can be done to remedy this??? Thanks :)

Release Condition based on Calculated Grade Item
I'm trying to set a release condition so that the next unit would open when the average score on the previous unit is a certain percentage. I don't see a way to do this? I have created a calculated grade item for the unit, and have release conditions on each assignment so they must complete each to move on. I know I would…

Linking several assignments to 1 item in the gradebook
Hey - what I am trying to do is a bit different. Each of the students are responding to their own goals, but I don't want in the gradebook a separate item for each student. For example I would like to have 3rd quarter goal response as the gradebook item, but then link, the assignments for Brown, Jones, and Smith in, even…
